I’m in the US and have to watch a few seconds of something on my phone while connected to the wifi in each location for two houses less than 3 miles apart every single month or it gets signed out of every device at one of the two locations. I only do that ao my daughter can watch shows at two places.
I will most likely cancel this fall after catching up on my backlog. It isn’t the cost that will be the dealbreaker, it is the hassle.
It is an annoyance for a thing that up to a couple years ago required zero effort and at that time the company promoted sharing accounts. Now they are so against sharing that they penalize people who use more than one wifi network.
I’m not even sharing accounts, just watching it in two places. If I could just mfa once at either location to confirm it wouldn’t be so bad. I have to remember to take action in two places and track it so it doesn’t get cut off in the evening at the other place while I’m going to bed and my kiddo is trying to watch a movie.
Also I’m paying for Netflix. Your job is paying you to do that.
yeah the world changes. nothing stays the same. what seemed like a good idea 5-10 years ago seems utterly stupid today. that’s how life works, including business.
I mean, I get it, 1st world problem of mind inconvenience is a moral outrage. But I don’t own two homes, I can’t possible imagine how difficult and awful it must be to have to manage my netflix account across multiple properties…
oh wait, you could just create a vpn and network your two homes so they appear on the same network! wow… almost as if there is a solution to every problem.
I don’t have that problem. I share netflix/HBO with my sister who is across the country with little to no issue.
but we never sub up more than two services at once.
